SAUDI TURF TEAM Recycling Old Car Tires

SAUDI TURF TEAM Recycling Old Car Tires

Despite the best efforts of modern science, your car tires rarely last as long as you keep your car. At some time, they will wear out or become damaged and you will have to replace them. Many years ago, most people changed their own tires. Back then, old tires were a recycling nightmare. They were almost universally banned from city dumps and landfills. Having no other options available many people would simply chuck their old tires into a roadside ditch at night when no one was looking. Those few companies that were willing to take your old tires often would end up burning them. Burning tires, however, is an environmental disaster in almost every sense of the word. Arsenic, mercury, cadmium, lead, beryllium, chromium and other toxic and carcinogenic substances and dioxins are released into the air when a car tire is burned. Cardiac disease and respiratory problems can be caused by the metal particles released from a burning tire as well. Plus the natural resources that go into making a tire go to waste if the tire is burned.
